[QUOTE="tiptaptoe, post: 288675, member: 80784"] Thanks for the info, definitely helps to know what this setup is supposed to be for. It is pretty neat. Anyway, I was hoping perhaps I could build an Intel Atom based PC for a client and my quad core (Q6600) would do the decoding. I was a bit suprised that the client PC I started with (Athlon 64 3000+ with a FX5700 and 512 mb RAM) was not strong enough to be used as a client (so an Atom based PC wouldnt have a chance). However I tried it on another PC with an Intel Pentium Dual Core and it worked great. Ive been using Mediaportal for a year or two already, but this is my first time at trying out this version. Its not easy for me to list at PC specs because I currently have 4 PCs around the house to choose from. The aforementioned Athlon 64 based machine is by far the slowest. The others are at least Intel dual core based. I have 2 USB HD tuners (Dvico HDTV5 and Hauppage HVR-950) and a HDHomerun. Hmm....Im thinking of the possibilities of actually being able to utilize all four tuners from a single interface (Mediaportal client) and record all content to one drive instead of onto individual PCs...interesting...good stuff indeed. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
